What are some of the most memorable beers that you have ever tasted?

What is your favourite German beer, and why?

Bavaria Best Stout. It's a really solid stout, with a lot of chocolate and spicy notes. Just a lovely stout in general :)

What are your favourite beer styles?

Imperial Stouts, 'normal' stouts and porters. (Indian) pale ales.

The Reinheitsgebot: Good for beer drinkers? Why / why not?

While it's certanly possible to brew good beer following the Reinheitsgebot, it is mostly used as an excuse to make shitty beer seem more 'premium' than it is. Not to mention that it seems to have confused some people to believe that beer not brewed according to the Gebot is by definition bad.

We're about:

This group was founded in May 2012 and is open to anyone who is genuinely interested in the art of beer brewing and beers crafted to taste good, rather than to sell to the widest audience. The focus of this group is to promote beers brewed by microbreweries, rather than on large, mass-market beers brewed by large-scale industrial breweries.

Allow members to swap their favourite bottled beers, perhaps from abroad

Visit craft beer festivals as a group

Please note: Since there are several Berlin meetup groups already with a specific focus on going out / drinking / socialising, it should be noted that the focus of this group is craft beer and brewing, so beer will always be the center of attention, rather than socialising.
